11:08pm

Jaehyun was sat on Tens couch, rubbing his forehead as his eyes were shut. Ten was finishing up Jaehyuns tea, pouting as he quickly went over to Jaehyun and handed him the mug. Jaehyun looked up and opened his eyes, smiling a bit as he took the mug and blew on it gently.

"Thanks.." Jaehyun sighed, taking a sip of his mug as he swallowed harshly and set the mug down on the coffee table. Jaehyun let out another sigh, rubbing his face with both of his hands as Ten looked at the male and frowned.

"Can you tell me what happened now?" Ten asked as Jaehyun nodded and looked at the other. Jaehyun now rested his arms on his legs, clearing his throat a bit.

"Me and the rest of the guys were at the club as usual. Yuta was at the bar talking to Sicheng y'know, and Doyoung was just doing his own thing." Jaehyun started out as Ten nodded and listened carefully. "So, Taeyong and I were together in the club. We had a couple of drinks but I was obviously more sober than Taeyong."

Jaehyun then cleared his throat again. It was clear the male was uncomfortable and conflicted with what had happened in the club, and it made Ten sad to see.

"We were on the dance floor, and Taeyong was really up against me. Yeah, I was grinding back. I mean, I was extremely in the mood too. Then Taeyong looked at me and he smirked, like a really drunk smirk. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bathroom and we-"

Jaehyun stopped for a moment before pressing his lips together and began to speak again.

"Taeyong kissed me. He kissed me first, and it was a really sloppy kiss. We ended up making up and I had him pinned against the wall while he wrapped his legs around me. Honestly, in that moment it was the best feeling ever... But Taeyong out of no where just pulled back and began to freak out. So I set him down on the counter and he began to cry and cover his face and he kept apologizing. I didn't get why, like we were both enjoying and obviously weren't uncomfortable. But then he kept screaming at me and telling me I took advantage of him when I didn't! He kissed me first! He was grinding up against me! I was just returning the same feelings! Taeyong just kept screaming at me about that then he shoved me away and told me to fuck off, so now I'm here."

Ten sat there speechless. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He obviously wasn't judgmental that his two best friends had made out, but he just felt bad. From what Jaehyun was saying, it's obvious Jaehyuns had some hidden feelings for Taeyong, and Taeyongs the same to Jaehyun. Ten scratched his head, Jaehyun looking at Ten with a frown as he sighed.

"Jaehyun.. God, I don't even know what to say. This is so intense. I think the best thing to do is maybe talk to Taeyong, and if he doesn't comply then just give him space." Ten nodded and rubbed Jaehyuns back as he frowned. Jaehyun smiled a bit, nodding as he looked at Ten and ruffled up his hair.

"Yeah, I'll probably do that honestly. Thanks for letting me come over, sorry if I was a bother." Jaehyun sighed as Ten shook his head and smiled sweetly.

"Ah, you're never a bother! We're friends, and I'm always here to help. Would you like to spend the night?" Ten asked with a smile and nod as Jaehyun chuckled.

"Yes please."

1:31am

Ten and Jaehyun were in Tens room. Ten was on his bed as Jaehyun was sitting on the inflatable mattress as they were both on their phones.

"Ah, Ten. Have you gotten anywhere with Johnny?" Jaehyun asked with a small smile and nod. Ten looked up from his phone as he then looked at Jaehyun, scratching his head.

"Kinda? I mean, we talked for a while since he returned my phone. Other than that, we're just becoming better friends is all." Ten nodded and smiled as he held his hands in his lap, his legs crossed on the bed as Jaehyun chuckled at the sight of his friend.

"Cute. Johnny seems nice, best to get to know him first." Jaehyun nodded and smiled as he sat up. Ten nodded and clicked his home button, a notification from Hansol popping up as his eyebrows raised.

'Sol <3

How about a movie? We can get dinner after :)

Ten giggled at the text and quickly responded, Jaehyun raising an eyebrow as he popped up and rested his arms on Tens bed now as he grinned.

"Is that Johnny?" Jaehyun asked with a nod and chuckled, trying to peek at Tens phone as Ten hid his phone closer to his face.

"It's just a friend!" Ten exclaimed as Jaehyun gasped sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"No ones that giggly when a friend texts, if it's not Johnny who is it?" Jaehyun asked as he nodded. Ten then sighed a bit and locked his phone, then clicking the button again as he showed Jaehyun his lock screen of himself and Hansol.

"His name is Hansol. He's the one I was with, we're hanging out again later." Ten nodded as Jaehyuns eyebrows raised and lips pouted, nodding a bit.

"Alright, alright. I see you, Ten." Jaehyun said playfully as Ten yelled and hit his arms as Jaehyun laughed.

"Anyways, it's late. I'm gunna sleep." Jaehyun nodded and kissed his hand, then wiping it on Tens cheek as Ten scrunched up his face and pushed Jaehyuns hand away and laughed more.

"Ew, I hate you!"

"Love you honey."

9:10am

Jaehyun had already left Tens house as Ten was making himself his usual breakfast. As Ten was pouring his coffee, there was a knock on his door. His eyebrows raised, quickly making his way over as he opened the door. There stood Hansol, the male holding a small bouquet of flowers as he smiled. The sight made Ten blush as he smiled, letting Hansol in as he then shut the door.

"What's this for?" Ten asked as Hansol handed him the bouquet, Ten taking it and smelling the flowers as Hansol pushed his hair out of his eyes.

"Just wanted to get you something pretty." Hansol said sweetly as Ten smiled. Ten then went to his kitchen to grab a vase, Hansol looking around Tens apartment as he pulled out one of the chairs and sat down in the kitchen with Ten.

"I appreciate it, thank you." Ten nodded and smiled as he placed his food on the table. "Do you want some? There's extra."

Hansol then nodded and smiled, Ten grabbing another plate as he served Hansol the same and soon poured him a cup of coffee as well. The two sat together, eating and talking as they laughed and smiled. Ten soon took their now empty plates as Hansol shook his head and stood up.

"I'll help, it's no worries." He said as Ten frowned.

"But you're my guest!" Ten exclaimed.

"And you're my favourite, now let me help." Hansol said with a smile as Ten got shy, sighing and nodding as Hansol pinched his cheek lightly.

About an hour later, Ten changed as Hansol took Ten out to town to spend time together before their movie. The two were shopping around at the mall, Ten looking around as he smiled. Hansol was happy. He enjoyed Ten a lot, and he was glad the two were getting closer. Ten made him nervous though, despite Hansol being so smooth and calm when talking to him.

Yes, Hansol favoured Ten. It was obvious. Sometimes Hansol felt like he was annoying Ten though, but that was just him overthinking.

As Ten and Hansol walked out of the store, Ten soon scurried into the music store. There were many guitars on display, as well as keyboards and ukuleles. There were practice rooms in the back and CD's on sale as well.

"I'm saving up to buy a new acoustic. My old one is at my old house with my brother and mom." Ten nodded and smiled, as well as Hansol. Ten then took a seat on one of the stools, looking around at the guitars as he then smiled wider.

"This one, the Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat top, this is the guitar I'm saving up for. Ah, Christmas is going to be so fun." Ten nodded and smiled, taking the guitar off its holder carefully as he began to strum the strings and play a few chords.

"Maybe you can play me some songs then when you get it." Hansol nodded and smiled softly, Ten nodding as he looked up at Hansol and smiled. As Ten was playing the guitar, Hansol took out his phone and snapped a photo of Ten as he smiled.

Ten was distracted by the instrument to realize Hansols actions, but Hansol just kept smiling and falling more for Ten. Soon, the bell on the door rang as another customer came in, Ten looking up as his eyebrows raised.

There stood Johnny, the male in a white short sleeve shirt that was unbuttoned and a black shirt underneath it. He had on skinny jeans and circle glasses, his hair done nicely as well. It felt like time stopped for Ten. The two were just looking at each other for a few seconds, until Johnny finally spoke.

"Ten. It's good to see you." Johnny nodded and smiled a bit. Ten nodded as he held the guitar close to him. Ten was quiet, he looked at Hansol, who was stood there with a soft expression, then looking at Johnny.

"Yeah, you too.. Sorry I didn't come to the club last night, I was with Hansol." Ten nodded as Johnny shook his head and smiled a bit.

"It's understandable. Plus, you need a break from the noise." Johnny nodded and chuckled as Ten smiled a bit. Johnny pushed his hair back, rocking on his feet as he nodded once more. "Alright well, I need to buy some equipment, so I'll see you soon." Johnny said as he then waved to Ten, smiling and walking off into the store as Ten waved back and nodded.

"You okay? You seem pale." Hansol asked with a nod as he pouted, Ten nodding as he got up and hung the guitar back up on the holder.

"I'm fine, he's just a friend. No worries." Ten nodded as he motioned to the door, Hansol nodding as he walked ahead. Ten looked back to look at Johnny once more, then sighing as he went to follow Hansol.

3:57pm

Taeyong was a wreck. He didn't contact anyone, and he also didn't even go home. The night of the Jaehyun incident, Taeyong called his mother to pick him up. She loved her son, and would do anything to comfort him.

Taeyong was back in his old room. It was the same way he had left it when he first moved out. His old posters hanging, his same black and grey bed sheets. He had many polaroids hanging up as well, and the ones of him and Jaehyun felt like they were just burning a hole through his forehead. In Taeyongs thoughts, his door opened, the male blinking rapidly as he turned his attention to his little brother.

"You look like a wreck." He said, stepping in and shutting the door behind him as he sat beside Taeyong. Taeyong sighed, ruffling his hair as he looked at the younger boy.

"Chenle, I don't need you roasting me right now." Taeyong nodded as Chenle chuckled a bit.

"I know I tease you a lot, but I actually wanna listen to your issues." Chenle said as Taeyong looked at the boy. Chenle was 16, but he had a lot to say. He's a smartass and has a big mouth, but he would help and stick up for his brother when needed.

Taeyong then sighed, beginning to tell Chenle everything that happened with Jaehyun. Chenle listened in and was genuinely interested, giving Taeyong all his attention. Once Taeyong finished his story, Chenle crossed his leg and rested his hand on his cheek.

"First off, I think you really screwed up by blaming everything on Jaehyun. With what you told me, you started it all basically." Chenle said honestly as Taeyong sighed. Chenle was always blunt and never sugar coated anything, ever.

"Second, you're running from confrontation which is also a dumb move on your part. You're basically shoving it in Jaehyuns face that it's his fault and not yours, when in reality it is your fault." Chenle nodded, looking around the bed as he grabbed Taeyongs phone and handed it to the elder.

"Call him, meet up, and apologize. You guys have been best friends since forever, and I'll be damned in you two stop talking because of your small slip up." Chenle sighed, patting Taeyongs back as he smiled softly.

"I love you, Taeyonggie." Chenle said playfully as Taeyong sighed and smiled, wrapping his arms around Chenle tightly as he scrunched up his face and ruffled Chenles hair.

"I love you too, brat."

5:30pm

Jaehyun was editing on his phone, laying on the couch as his doorbell rang. Jaehyun looked up, getting up from the couch as he scratched his head. He then opened the door, seeing Taeyong holding a stuffed animal in his hands as he smiled a bit.

"What's this for?" Jaehyun sighed and nodded, Taeyong frowning as he stepped inside and handed Jaehyun the bear.

"Jaehyun.. I'm sorry. I really fucked up, and I shouldn't have blamed it all on you. I was just in the state of panic, I didn't want to ruin anything." Taeyong nodded as he fiddled with his hands, biting his lip. Jaehyun looked at the bear, then at Taeyong as he set the stuffed animal down on the couch.

Jaehyun then smiled a bit, wrapping his arms around Taeyong as he kissed his forehead softly. Taeyong relaxed, hugging Jaehyun tightly as he nuzzled into his chest.

"I forgive you. I was never mad, I was just sad I was going to lose you." Jaehyun said in a soft voice, nodding as Taeyong looked up at the male and smiled.

"You won't lose me, I promise." Taeyong said. Jaehyun then chuckled, pushing some of Taeyongs hair out of his eyes as he kissed the other softly. Taeyong and Jaehyun both shut their eyes, melting into their kiss as they soon pulled back and blushed.

"That's our proper first kiss." Jaehyun said as Taeyong giggled and nodded.

"Good, I wouldn't have it any other way."
